The amount and nature of light that your child receives in the earliest stages of the childhood is extremely important for the formation of its personality. It is a known fact that the input of natural light is absolutely invaluable and can never be completely compensated by artificial light sources.

After you are done with painting, add some nice pictures to the walls and you are already half way through.
